2019 Colorado 811 5k: Know What’s Below
On the picture-perfect Saturday morning of August 10 at 8:11 a.m., the Argis Solutions team joined hundreds of other runners and walkers in Arvada, CO for Colorado 811’s annual 5k. Argis had a group of 11, and our VP of sales, Brian Collison, placed 10th in the race! We also had some of our crew enthusiastically volunteering at the race’s water station.
Colorado 811 hosts this run/walk each August to increase public awareness of the need to call 811 before digging and to highlight the safety message, “Know what’s below.” After the 5k, participants could attend a safety expo that included utility companies, Arvada Fire, safety demonstrations, music, prizes, and other giveaways.
CO811 Safety Expo
At the safety expo, Argis Solutions offered an augmented reality maze game for the public to try that garnered a lot of interest. The game was a fun way to showcase how AR can help you access real-time geolocational information. The Argis team also had a blast meeting excavators, utility stakeholders, and other safety-minded community members. A few of us even got to enjoy a few bucket rides in the Excel Energy utility bucket truck!
Argis is grateful for Colorado 811’s commitment to serving the community, bringing attention to safer digging practices and sharing how damage prevention is important to everyone.
